If you live in GB and have a little one, do yourself a favor and snag this set of wooden magnets, produced in Czechoslovakia in the 70s. What a fantastic gift! (Sombebody (Melissa & Doug??) should reproduce a similar toy, I’d buy it for Ella!)

We had a toy like this in the USSR, too :)

Wow ! I used to have the exact same kit when I was a kid. I remember spending countless hours playing with this toy. Apparently we also had it in Canada…

Gorgeous! I have a magnetic theatre the box of which is similar in design – I think they may have been made by the same company.
